New Creekboat made in Chile

This company is based in Santiago and they design sea kayaks, sit on top kayaks and Hidrospeeds. This year they started designing white water kayaks. Now I`m in Norway and my friend (designer) Sebastian Striebel showed up here with the machine, we paddled a few rivers together and it was crazy to see this guy with the PHOENIX running… Continue

Hornets move into kayak

I have an old fibreglass boat that is sitting upsidedown on a rack about 1.5 metres off the ground. The boat is awaiting repairs and just sort of a back up project,so no rush. I noticed yesrterday that hornets have decided it makes a very nice home. My neighbour Mark pointed it out and it is a good thing he did. The day before I was planning on moving it to a more out of the way location and would have been in for a big surprize had I tried to pick it up. Now I know they are theirContinue

A very lucky paddler

I was just watching this and thought I should post it. Paddler skill levels and safety are always a big issue and this paddler was very lucky.

Re:Changing your boat angle during waterfall decents.

What you need to remember when freefalling is that is it a lot harder to bring your boat from being over vertical than it is to push your bow down to become more vertical. It is possible to kick the n

OKS Keener: Garb

Hey its Edward here and I'm going to be talking about Garb today. First off all, Garb is a very fast wave on the Ottawa River and probably the best because it is an amazing experience once you get to surf it. It feels like you are going so fast because the water is rushing under you at a very fast pace.

OKS Keener: Jordan's last Blog

Hey it's Jordan checking in for my last blog as a Keener this year. This last week has been incredible though injuries have also forced ne to miss to days of it. This Monday I blew my ear drum jumping off of BFR rock, a 20 ft. high cliff. That forced me to miss Tuesday though because I was able to get custom ear plugs I was able to paddle the next two days. It was uncomfortable and many times annoying, but totally worth it on the Rouge.

The Roaming Dials: Montana Creek @ 450 cfs

Last year Paul Schauer, Thai Verzone, and I ran Montana Creek near Talkeetna at 350 cfs on the NOAA Guage. It was super fun but a bit bumpy.

Chicago Area Sea Kayakers Association: Turtle-Flambeau Flowage: August 2010 Trip Report

The Turtle-Flambeau Flowage is located off US 51, about 75 miles south-east of the Apostle Islands near the town of Mercer, Wisconsin (a.k.a. Loon Capital of the World). Some call it the crown jewel of the North Woods. It’s about 50 square miles, formed by glaciers, fed by three rivers and drained by one. There are over 100 islands with 60 campsites scattered on the islands and around the edges of the Flowage.
